Proletarians of all countries, unite!
Thesis on the international situation and the tasks of the International Communist Movement

Report of the V. meeting of marxist-leninist-maoist parties and organisations of Latin America
“Imperialism will not last long because it always does evil things. It persists in grooming and supporting reactionaries in all countries who are against the people, it has forcibly seized many colonies and semi-colonies and many military bases, and it threatens the peace with atomic war. Thus, forced by imperialism to do so, more than 90 per cent of the people of the world are rising or will rise up in struggle against it. Yet imperialism is still alive, still running amuck in Asia, Africa and Latin America. In the West, imperialism is still oppressing the people at home. This situation must change. It is the task of the people of the whole world to put an end to the aggression and oppression perpetrated by imperialism, and chiefly by U.S. Imperialism.”
Chairman Mao Tsetung, Interview With A Hsinhua News Agency Correspondent
September 29th,1958
September 29th,1958
Since the beginning of the epoch of
imperialism the different imperialist powers and superpowers have
intensified their exploitation and oppression against the proletariat in
their own countries and the plundering and submission of the
proletariat, the peasantry and the popular masses in general in the
colonies and semi-colonies, all with the purpose to ensure the
plundering of the natural resources, secure the markets for their
capital and commodities and the maximum profit. This plundering and
exploitation resulted in two World Wars and unspeakable misery and harm
for the proletariat and the people of the world and stirred up the class
struggle to greater heights, that culminated in the most heroic
revolutionary experiences in the history of humankind – the conquest of
power by the proletariat (dictatorship of the proletariat) and the
beginning of the socialist construction on the path to abolish classes
and every form of exploitation, the golden communism.
With the emergence of imperialism the
world has been divided between a handful of oppressing nations and an
immense number of oppressed nations, the conditions for the world
revolution ripened. With the victory of the October revolution the era
of the proletarian world revolution was initiated, which is the
principal historical and political tendency. The struggle between
revolution and counter-revolution in the era of imperialism and the
proletarian world revolution gave us the most important experiences in
class struggle – the victories of the great revolutions in Russia and
China, the impulse for the struggles for national liberation and the
Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution – and with the People's War in
Peru the strategic offensive of the proletarian world revolution was
initiated. In this way, the scientific ideology of the proletariat, the
only scientific ideology, was developed to a new, third and higher
stage: Maoism.
Carried by the contribution of
Gonzalo-Though, the result of the application of Maoism on the
revolution in Peru, we reaffirm, that being a communist today means
being Marxist-Leninist-Maoist, principally Maoist and that the task of
the communists is to hold high, defend and apply, principally apply
Marxism-Leninsm-Maoism in order to impose Maoism as command and guidance
of the proletarian world revolution, for let it increasingly lead the
New Great Wave of the proletarian world revolution.
Chairman Mao told us again and again,
that we as communists, have the duty to apply the Marxist conception,
the Marxists point-of-view and the Marxist method to study the objective
world with the sole purpose of transforming it. And in the study of the
objective reality we must strive to understand the principal
contradiction in every moment, that we principally have to centre on the
class struggle and the two-line-struggle, for which we must analyse the
fundamental relations between classes and the correlation of the forces
of classes.
We reaffirm, that only by being carried
by Marxism-Leninism-Maoism and the universal contributions of
Gonzalo-Thought we are capable to find a way in comprehending the
developments of the fundamental contradictions, to understand the
principal contradiction in the current world, in order to correctly
define the politics and tasks that results from the objective situation,
to be on our guard for subjectivism, superficiality and one-sidedness
and to distinguish the contradictions between us and the enemy from the
contradictions in the lap of the people.
The fundamental contradictions in the current world
First contradiction: between oppressed nations on one side and imperialist super powers and powers on the other.
This is the principal contradiction in
the current world. On one hand, there is a large number of oppressed
nations that are colonial or semi-colonial countries, that are
economically, politically and culturally subjected to imperialism, even
though the latter formal count as sovereign or independent; On the other
hand, a handful of imperialist powers, be it powers or superpowers,
anyway oppressing nations.
In the camp of the imperialist powers Yankee-imperialism is the only hegemonic super power, Russia is an atomic superpower and there is also a handful of secondary imperialist powers.
In the camp of the imperialist powers Yankee-imperialism is the only hegemonic super power, Russia is an atomic superpower and there is also a handful of secondary imperialist powers.
Yankee-imperialism, more than than the
other imperialists, is weighted down by its hegemonic position even
more. Due to its own imperialist nature and in order to uphold its
hegemony, it is forced to fight multiple wars simultaneously and for
this must maintain military presence on all continents. This creates
enormous economical costs, that also include the maintenance of its
military and espionage machinery, costs for the credits of its past and
ongoing wars, support for veterans, and not accounting the social costs
required in its own country and the disregard of life and dignity of the
masses, the genocide they conduct in their subjugation what earned it
the hatred of all people of the world.
Yankee-imperialism is the main exporter
of capital on world level, which is expressed in the enormous imbalance
in its economy. Yankee-imperialism is a giant standing on feet of clay,
with an immense external debt, budget debts and business debts as well
as a huge trade deficit. He is the principal monopolist, the principal
parasite and is undergoing greater decay than any of the other
imperialist countries.
On their side, the oppressed countries
concentrate the huge majority and the poorest of the world population
subjected to the oppression of imperialism, bureaucratic capitalism and
semi-feudalism they live in conditions that are not at all in accordance
to the level of development of humankind, suffer under the worsening of
their living conditions, the environment and are the target of the
systematic wars of conquest of imperialism and its local lackeys.
In the oppressed countries bureaucratic
capitalism is developing on a semi-feudal, colonial or semi-colonial
basis, creating its corresponding political and ideological forms and
systematically hindering the national development, exploiting the
proletariat, the peasantry and the petty bourgeoisie and restricting the
middle bourgeoisie. The worldwide crisis is continuing to being
offloaded on the oppressed countries that are kept in this condition and
we stay a part of the spoils of each redistribution.
Contrary to what the representatives of
imperialism and their revisionist lackeys declare the so-called
“economic liberation”, the “globalisation”, the “new world wide division
of labour” etc., everything the imperialists pushed forward together
with the ruling classes of this countries, have not changed their
character, but rather preserved and evolutionised it. Those upholding
the euphemism of imperialism – that the (imperialist) foreign
investments are in areas where there are alleged “comparative cost
benefits” that result in progress and development – is nothing more than
a masquerade to camouflage exploitation. The result of many decades of
the “opening for foreign investments” is that there has been no real
national development in the oppress countries. The promise that
increasing prices for natural resources will lead to greater profits for
the countries where the sources of the natural resources are located
in, was refuted absolutely by reality. The facts prove that the greatest
part of the benefits, the profits during the period of high prices of
natural resources, went to the “multinationals”, meaning the imperialist
countries.
By means of this so-called “foreign
investment” imperialist export of capital, the competition between the
monopolies for dominance of markets and countries, is manifesting. The
power getting ahead in this race is able to increase it monopoly
position, its power and hence its parasitism, its existence as
“rentier”, by which also its own decay, its down fall deepens.
Far away from increasing the economic
development in the oppressed countries, imperialist investments create a
deformed development, an economy strangled by financial capital, the
highest concentration of capital in the big monopolies and the
subjugation of all productions, finances and the national consumption
under their interests. Under these conditions the proletariat has the
task, by means of its communist party in alliance with the peasantry as
the principal force, to assume leadership of all revolutionary forces in
the democratic revolution against imperialism, bureaucratic capitalism
and semi-feudalism.
The policy of the imperialism of the USA
towards the semi-colonies is great submission and great national
subjugation or war. The plan of the imperialist is the partitioning of
those countries and their redistribution, based on the strength of its
military and its unfolding in combat positions. They do not seek peace,
but subjugate the people once again by means of capitulation, by means
of so-called “peace agreements”, that only formalises what was won on
the battlefield.
To not recognize the semi-feudal
character of our countries and, additionally, the necessity of the
agrarian war to solve it, ends with negating the necessity of the
democratic revolution in the oppressed nations, the necessity to develop
People's War as a unified war – principally in the countryside and
necessarily complementary in the city – to put an end imperialism,
bureaucratic capitalism and semi-feudalism. Hence, without seeing the
semi-colonial and semi-feudal character on which the bureaucratic
capitalism in the so-called Middle East is developing, one is not
capable to understand the character of the role of the struggles for
national liberation of the people against the different imperialist
powers, the character of the resistance, the just war, mainly against
Yankee-Imperialism, but without neglecting the atomic superpower Russia,
independent of the forces of the classes that currently wage their
armed struggles in absence of a communist leadership.
Second Contradiction: Between proletariat and bourgeoisie
The enormous socially produced wealth is
increasing without limitations, but this wealth is appropriated
privately by a handful of imperialists and the big bourgeois and
landowners in the countries of the third world. The result of all this
are even sharper crisises with shortened cycles within the general and
final crisis of imperialism, that push the imperialist states towards
triggering new wars of conquest for the redistribution of the world. All
this is stirs up the contradiction between proletariat and bourgeoisie
in the imperialist nations themselves.
On one hand, the economic crisis that is
continuing since 2008 – what started with the financial crisis in the
USA – is being offloaded on the masses, which also impacted the
proletariat in the imperialist states, especially in Europe, stirring up
sharper struggles to defend the accomplishments won in the struggles
during the whole 20th century.
On the other hand, the contradiction
between proletariat and bourgeoisie unfolds also in the emergence of
waves of immigration of thousands of refugees of war and poor people in
general, that flee from the imperialist wars and the tremendous
exploitation and oppression in the half-colonies and that increase the
rows of the proletariat in these countries. The wave of migration and
the “human tragedy” is also a necessity for the monopolies in the
respective imperialist countries that must decrease costs of production
and wage level – for example, the reaction of German imperialism
estimates that they have to strengthen their working forces with 500.000
immigrants per year – so they simultaneously spread the fear of
“terrorism” all over the media and promote chauvinistic hysteria, racism
and nationalism. They enforce the reactionary policy of splitting the
class in domestic and foreign workers in order to prevent the unified
class-conscious action of the proletariat, so that it will not organize
itself as a class with its own interests and communist ideology,
politics and party. Here, the contradiction is also between revolution
and counter-revolution and not between fascism and the democracy, the
“left” or the “right”. It is not about this or that political regime or
form of government of the bourgeois dictatorship, but about putting an
end to this dictatorship of the bourgeoisie against the proletariat and
the people in this imperialist countries by means of the socialist
revolution, which must be carried out through People's War.
This contradiction within the
imperialist nations is sharpening, too – and this is the character of
the current phase of decay – because all the abominations committed by
those imperialist states, especially the Yankee-imperialism, against the
oppressed nations reverberate more and more in those imperialist
countries. The merciless killings of the masses by means of airstrikes,
the use of drones against the civil population and attaching the stigma
of “terrorism” to all the forces fighting against national subjugation
are a common part of the imperialist war. This is being done in
countries which they declared war on, but which armed forces is not
given this status and the Right for war is not granted, as well as in
countries in which they have not declared war or covertly wage war like
in Yemen and Pakistan. And they do it with impunity, because there are
no international judges or courts against them that count. This
imperialist war must necessarily come back home.
Further, in their own countries a
systematic and continuous killing of the members of the poorest masses
continues, for the forces of repression of the Yankee-state this is a
part of the war against the proletariat and the North-American people,
especially the black population and the immigrants of the third world.
In the face of this oppression, the masses rise in rebellion and turn
the weapons, given to them to massacre the masses in the oppression
nations, against their own oppressors.
In summary the main aspect is, that the
movement against the imperialist war will increase, together with the
rebellion against the exploitation and oppression of the class and the
increasing misery of the masses. This happens in all the imperialist
countries, especially in China, France and the United States, where the
exploited and oppressed mass of the proletariat consists of around 50
million proletarians coming from countries in Latin America. Through
this poor mass the development of the class struggle with the People's
War in Latin America also influences the development of the class
struggle of the proletariat to conquer the power in the United States.
Third contradiction: Between imperialist powers and superpowers
As Lenin taught, imperialism is not one,
but there are different imperialist countries. This means, that there
are imperialist power and superpowers that divide the world amongst them
in regards to the balance of power – economically, politically and
military – a balance of power that changes in every moment and unfolds
through conspiracy and conflict.
The United States are in this moment the
only hegemonic superpower. With the decomposition of the
social-imperialist USSR in 1991 the economical weight of Russia shrank
to a level comparable to the Italian imperialism, while its character as
atomic superpower prevails. There are also other imperialist power like
Germany, Great Britain, France, Japan, China, Holland, Australia, New
Zealand, Canada, Italy, Spain, etc. that compose a handful of oppressing
countries. Since the 1990'ies a redistribution of the oppressed
countries, formerly subjected to the social-imperialist Soviet Union,
has taken place. All events of significance that have since then taken
place in Eastern Europe and the so-called Middle East, the Persian Golf
and Afghanistan, with or without war, are part of this redistribution.
The old struggle between the two
superpowers, the USA and the social-imperialist USSR, has changed. The
current situation in the world is marked by the plan of
Yankee-imperialism to develop its War of Aggression with blood and fire
with an immediate target – Syria –, a medium-range target – Iran – and a
strategic goal, to strip Russia of its characteristic as an atomic
superpower that still exists, for which alliances with the other
imperialists like Germany, France, England, etc. are being used when
they serve the purpose of overthrowing the order of the areas of
influence with greater strategical significance for Russia. On its side,
Russia is struggling to maintain these areas, especially Ukraine, Syria
and Iran.
In the current situation the hotspot is
located in the so-called Middle East, because the control over this
region, especially Syria and Iran, is of great importance for
Yankee-imperialism, not only because it means to snatch areas of
influence from Russia, but also because it would allow assuring its
hegemonic status by gaining strategic control over the key areas of the
world when it comes to the supplies of oil of all the other imperialist
powers, getting a clear advantage in the inter-imperialist competition.
It is exactly that aspect, what makes it hard to make all powers to turn
against Russia.
When the imperialists, alone or in
coalitions, act against one or multiple oppressed countries of the third
world, this moment is not only marked by the principal contradiction,
but also by the third contradiction, the one between the imperialist
countries. And with this they break their own agreements, their own
international law, the principal of non-aggression, because the law
exists for to be obeyed by the others. It is because of this, that the
peace, the harmony between the imperialists are only newly told old
fairy tales, like those of “Superimperialism”, “Ultraimperialism”,
“Neoimperialism”, “Neoliberalism”, “Neocolonialism” - old theories
directed against the democratic revolution and the struggles for
national liberation.
The imperialist scramble for the biggest
slice of the pie is absolute and the conspiracy amongst them is
relative, that is determined by the conditional and transient character
of imperialist alliances; There are no “imperialist blocks”. The
secondary imperialist power struggle to become new superpowers and by
this strive to achieve world hegemony, to take the place of
Yank-imperialism and to force a new order and redistribution by means of
a new World War. The European Union is no “European imperialism” but an
alliance of Western-European countries under the leadership of Germany
to struggle for distribution of the world.
Also, there is no “Russia-China Block”,
amongst them there are also disputes. Momentarily social-imperialist
China has no position of greater significance in the redistribution,
because it has limited offensive capabilities compared to the other
imperialist powers. With China containment and first conspiracies are
undertaken, it has its place as a factory for products of consumption
and room for capital of the different imperialist powers such as the
USA, Japan, Germany and others.
Regarding the contradiction between
socialism and capitalism, that corresponds to the whole era of the
proletarian world revolution, this contradiction is currently unfolding
in the area of ideology and history. In the camp of the reaction this
contradiction is marked by the general counter-revolutionary offensive,
that enters its down fall and in this situation is directed against the
struggle for national liberation with its means of the so-called “War on
Terror”, against which we direct the counter-offensive that developes
by the means of People's War. In the camp of the revolution the
contradiction between socialism and capitalism is expressed in the
struggles of the proletariat and the people of the world, in which
socialism lives as an idea. The call of the masses for reconquering the
power rises especially in those countries where there was socialism, a
perspective that is expressed by the veterans of the USSR that fought in
the second world war and that march with posters of comrade Stalin and
the workers and peasants in China, that rise in the name of Chairman
Mao. All these struggles are part of the complex process between
restoration and counter-restoration. Socialism will surely be
established there and it will be by People's War, in order to continue
the construction of socialism and the dictatorship of the proletariat.
Chairman Mao, who analysed the
development of class struggle on world level, understood that
imperialism enters a phase of the sharpening of the general crisis, that
initiated the age of the complete sweeping-away through the proletarian
revolution, highlighting that this will take place in the period of
“the next 50 to 100 years”. Chairman Gonzalo developed this
comprehension. He showed, that around 1980 the strategic offensive of
the proletarian world revolution was entered, in which the delayed
strategic task, according to the situation, is the constitution or
reconstitution of the communist parties on the basis of
Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, principally Maoism, in order to develop
People's Wars in all countries on earth and to develop them as a World
People's War. We must reaffirm ourselves in all those important tasks
and resolutely struggle agains all attempts of the reaction and
revisionism that spread confusion, serve the dispersal of the Communist
Movement and try to separate the Communist Movement from the struggles
for national liberation.
The field for revolution and People's
War is opening. In Latin America the governments of Venezuela, Brazil,
Ecuador, etc. started to discompose and taking down with them all sorts
of opportunists and revisionist that supported and defended those
alleged “anti-imperialist”, “progressive”, “revolutionary” governments.
This defeat also is accurate for the Cuban revisionism, that supported
all those governments that were far away from “left” - what opportunism,
revisionism and rest of the reactionaries are spreading – it is the
governments that in each country lead the bureaucratic fraction of the
big bourgeoisie in service of imperialism, principally
Yankee-imperialism. Additionally, the “peace-”agreements between armed
revisionism and the Cuban government are an expression of this final
decomposition in order do delegitimize the democratic way, the People's
War, through parliamentary cretinism and to march onwards on the
bureaucratic path of the reaction and imperialism.
The military confrontation between
revolution and counter-revolution in the world gives us the
indispensable task to fight imperialism and reaction and to
simultaneously fight the new revisionism in a fierce manner, to reject
opportunism and parliamentary cretinism and to educate the masses in
revolutionary violence and the distinction between friend and foe, so
that they can unleash their forceful energy in revolutionary struggle.
In order to do so, it is mandatory to achieve a full understanding of
Maoism as the universal ideology, to embrace and embody it in the midst
of two-line-struggle and to apply it on the revolution in each country,
creating the guiding though and leadership of each revolution, all by
utilizing the highest form of class struggle, People's War.
The struggle against the new revisionism
that attacks Marxism, the party, revolutionary violence and the
dictatorship of the proletariat, which was structured in its most
systematic form in Peru as the revisionist and capitulationist
right-opportunist Line that franticly negates leadership,
Gonzalo-Thought, People's War and the democratic revolution is
necessary. It must be fought against continuously in each and every form
it presents itself, like the variations presented by the revisionists
Avakian, Prachanda and others.
More People's Wars are needed to make revolution and to confront imperialist war
The objective situation on world level
develops and in each part the conditions for revolution ripen. As
annotated by Chairman Mao in 1958, imperialism is still alive and
Yankee-imperialism – as the only hegemonic superpower and
counter-revolutionary gendarme – is the principal enemy of the people of
the world; he still commits despotic and violent acts against Asia,
Africa and Latin America; occupies semi-colonies with violence, erects
military bases and forces wars of conquest on others; he still oppresses
the people's masses in its own country. And all this more fiercely then
60 years ago. But this situation will become more and more
insupportable and inevitably more than 90 percent of the world
population will rise against imperialism and the reactionaries and this
already is happening, with hard struggle and uneven development, in a
second great wave of the proletarian world revolution.
As Maoists we are supporters of Chaiman
Maos thesis on „three worlds in formation”, which on one hand contains
the basic distinction between imperialist and by imperialism oppressed
nations and, on the other hand, that inter-imperialist contradictions
exist, that they are in motion through conspiracy and conflict, with
conflict being the absolute and conspiracy being the relative, because
the conflict is about the imperialist redistribution of the spoils,
which is us, the oppressed nation.
So we see, that the first world is in a
redefinition, that is expressed in how it facilitates the down fall of
the only hegemonic superpower, the Yankee-imperialism, in a long process
with temporary blossoms and set-backs. We also see, how the atomic
superpower Russia in the long run tries to recover and that the
secondary imperialist power are on its heels, all within the process of
being swept-away and down fall in which imperialism is due to the world
revolution, which basis is the third world.
The current situation confirms the
emphasis of Chairman Mao in regards to Asia, China and Latin America as
zones of revolutionary storms and basis of the proletarian world
revolution and also confirms what Chairman Gonzalo defined in regards of
the third world now spreading to Europe.
The dispute between the imperialists
will increase even more and our countries are the spoils of this
dispute. There will be increasingly fierce struggle between the
monopolies of the financial capital, sometimes violently and sometimes
non-violently, but principally violently, because Imperialism is war and
reaction all along the line. The struggle for the markets for export of
capital and extraction of natural resources and other raw materials and
for the cheapest labour force is in the interest of the imperialist
monopolies and in the interest of its states. That is the economic basis
of the wars of aggression of the imperialists against the oppressed
countries, their true character being wars of conquest for a
redistribution and a huge stage for this – amongst other stages –
reaches from Central Asia to the Sub-Saharan Africa and it will be even
widened. Only by understanding this, it is possible to recognize the
character of the imperialist wars of conquest against the oppressed
people and nations, that we see in Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Mali,
Syria, Libya, etc. The very same war of conquest unleashes the rage of
the people that is rising in powerful armed struggle and becoming the
political, moral and through this, military, inferno for the
imperialists that are, which must be seen in perspective as nothing more
than paper tigers.
All this creates better objective
conditions for the world revolution. Only the fiercest revisionist and
opportunists can try to negate the great ripening of the objective
conditions in all the countries, especially in the oppressed countries,
that are the basis of the world revolution and the spoils of the
undergoing redistribution.
Currently all main contradictions on the
world sharpen, because mainly the historical principal contradiction is
sharpening, the one between oppressed nations on one side and the
imperialist nation on the other, as well as the third contradiction, the
inter-imperialist one. Nonetheless, the imperialist war of aggression
echoes back in the corresponding imperials countries as it already does,
by sharpening the class struggle between proletariat and bourgeoisie.
So one can grasp, that the storm-centres of revolution are in the
oppressed countries, but that Communist Parties in the respective
imperialist countries must be constituted or reconstituted and that
People's Wars must be initiated and developed.
The masses rise in rebellion all over
the world, there is great decay of imperialism and linked to a number of
complex wars, that will definitely be swept-away by the world
revolution in the period of the 50 to 100 years. This is the stage of
the strategic offensive of proletarian world revolution, that advances
with a new great wave formed by the wars of resistance and People's
Wars, amongst whom the latter are the principal ones in perspective.
Only through what was given to us by
Chairman Mao, we can understand the current situation of the countries
within the so-called Extended Middle East like Syria, where two
contradictions sharpen and three forces act. The two contradictions are:
1) the contradiction between oppressed Nations and imperialist nations,
the principal contradiction, and 2) the inter-imperialist
contradiction, the secondary contradiction. The three forces are: 1)
USA-Imperialism, the sole hegemonic superpower, principal enemy, and its
temporary allies; 2) the atomic superpower Russia, and its temporary
allies; 3) the attacked country, Syria, that includes all national
classes and minorities, except a handful of treacherous disciples of the
theory of national subjugation. Even though the just struggle for
resistance is being fought heroically by the masses and must be
supported by the revolutionaries, it is still a week force. To
strengthen it and to ensure the effective liberation of the masses in
the future, a proletarian leadership is inevitable. This calls for the
communists of Syria to reconstitute their Communist Party in the midst
of the crucible of armed struggle in order to construct the united front
of national resistance against the imperialist aggressors under the
slogan “Death to the occupants!” and, after the expulsion of the
external aggressor, to leader the national democratic revolution to its
culmination, all through People's War. The communists of the world must
also firmly adapt the slogan “Down with the imperialist war of
aggression! Death to the occupants!” and applied by People's War, in
order to show the way of serving the development of the proletarian
world revolution.
The glorious People's Wars in India,
Peru, Philippines and Turkey threaten to ignite the whole prairie. The
People's Wars, despite thousand difficulties, show that the true
terrorists are the imperialist bandits and that the people's masses are
the true heroic creators of a new world. The ongoing People's Wars are
part of the mighty east wind that continues to blow in order to wipe
away imperialism from the face of earth and they must be supported
decisively.
In order to develop proletarian world
revolution we need more People's War, People's War to withstand the
imperialist wars, to make the democratic revolution and to make the
socialist revolution. For this, in each country the communist party must
be, conditionally to the country, constituted or reconstituted, the
teachings of Lenin applied to go to the deepest and broadest masses to
educate them in revolutionary violence, to sweep-away the gigantic pile
of trash and to relentlessly struggle against opportunism and
revisionism.
This is a struggle rich with strokes of
fate within the struggle for live and death between Marxism and
revisionism, between left and right. Revisionists, rightist and all
other sorts of agents of reaction seek to negate the progress of Maoism,
the new great wave of the proletarian world revolution and the current
stage that is the offensive of the world revolution to serve their
reactionary interests. It is necessary to crush all those points of view
that try to negate the existence and sharpening of the three
fundamental contradictions on international level and especially the
principal contradiction, the one between oppressed Nations and
imperialist nations.
People's War is necessary in all
countries and on all continents in order to accomplish the revolution in
each country and to wipe away imperialism from the face of earth by
means of World People's War. And because People's War is the war of the
people, all-roundly led by the communist party, it is the central and
principal task to, conditionally to the country, constitute or
reconstitute the communist party on the firm basis of
Marxism-Leninism-Maoism where People's Wars was not yet initiated and to
strengthen the marxist-leninist-maoist bases, in order to develop
People's War for the conquest of power, as the only guarantee to
overcome the difficulties and to finish the revolution, where they has
already been initiated.
The historical experience of the
International Communist Movement demonstrate with each break out of
revolution in an oppressed country anew, that the big bourgeoisie and
landowners of those countries are not simply standing against
desperately, but unify with the force various imperialist forces and
strive to crush the revolutionary movement by means of an alliance with
the local and foreign reaction and revisionism. This demands proletarian
internationalism firmly anchored in practice, supporting the struggle
of brethren Parties and intensifying the Two-Line-Struggle within the
International Communist Movement, to foreground the urge for unity on
the basis of criticism and self-criticism, ensuring that in each moment
the revolutionary line prevails. The steps taken by the participating
parties and organisations of this V. Meeting of the
marxist-leninist-maoist parties and organisations of Latin America in
this regard are important and are concrete parts that contribute to the
necessary task to reconstitute the Communist International on the basis
of Maoism and People's War.
Additionally, we must continuously
deepen our comprehension and application of Maoism as our sole guarantee
for victory, in midst of the class struggle and the two-line-struggle
and in the light of the historical experiences of the International
Communist Movement. Only then we can carry on the struggle against the
deviation of the right and the “left”, give orientation to the
revolutionaries so that the fundamental contradictions are not “between
bourgeois dictatorship and fascism” or “between revolution and reforms”,
but rather reaffirm the principal teachings of Marx that he drew from
the glorious days of the Paris Commune: That the people is not served by
simply changing the government, that participation in the old state
will be of no use, but to win great victories and to overthrow the
dictatorship of the bourgeoisie and it reactionary allies and to
construct the dictatorship of the proletariat, as the great Lenin and
Chairman Mao masterfully summarized as: “Everything is illusion, but the
power” and “All power comes from the barrel of a gun”.
Comrades, in 1848 Marx and Engels
formulation this great call: “Proletarians of all countries, unite!”.
Since then this slogan inspired the struggles of the proletariat on the
whole world and led it to the way of emancipation.
When the historical stage of imperialism
began, Lenin formulated this great call for the new historical
conditions: “Workers of all countries and oppressed nations, unite!”
that united the proletarian movement for the construction of socialism
with the national struggles for freedom in the colonial and
semi-colonial countries.
Today, Yankee-imperialism, the principal
enemy of the people of the world, still sows chaos on the whole planet
and is earning the hatred of the people of the world, that want their
liberation and rise in resistance. As communists we have the duty to
fulfil our tasks even firmer to direct the potential force of the people
of the world against this giant on clay feet, uniting all
anti-imperialist forces with the call of Chairman Mao Tsetung himself:
“People of the world, unite and defeat the U.S. Aggressors and all their
running dogs! People of the world, be courageous, dare to fight, defy
difficulties and advance wave upon wave. Then the whole world will
belong to the people. Monsters of all kinds shall be destroyed.”
Long live the new great wave of the proletarian world revolution!
Down with imperialism and all its lackeys! Crush revisionism!
Long live the People's Wars!
Glory and honour to the communist heroes!
Defend the live of Chairman Gonzalo!
